Fiorentino, representing John Ritter, Chairman, Nevada Advisory Council on Federal Assistance Amber Stidham, Director of Government Affairs, Henderson Chamber of Commerce Chair Flores: [Roll was called. Committee rules and protocol were explained.] We have an agenda that we intend to take slightly out of order, and also I wanted to alert everybody on Assemblywoman Krasner's Assembly Bill 257, on which she has worked very diligently with a group of stakeholders for the past couple of weeks, and I am very appreciative of her trying to include everybody in that dialog. Her spirit was in the right place and she has been trying to work with everybody. We are going to hold a work session for that document now. For the sake of clarity, we are going to have our committee assistant pass around the new conceptual amendment that Assemblywoman Krasner has. It is my understanding that she is turning her bill into a feasibility study. I think that is a great place to start. Again, Assemblywoman, I am very appreciative of your working with everybody and reaching out to different members of the community and ensuring that everybody had a voice. I understand you had a great meeting on Sunday and I wanted to thank you for that. I want to make sure that everybody has an opportunity to look over the work session document that is being handed out now. Afterwards I will hand it over to Mr. McDonald to address what is in your conceptual amendment, and then I will entertain a motion. Assembly Bill 257: Provides for the establishment of the Nevada State Holocaust Museum. (BDR 33-1039) Jered McDonald, Committee Policy Analyst: Assembly Bill 257 provides for the establishment of the Nevada State Holocaust Museum and was sponsored by Assemblywoman Lisa Krasner and others and heard in this Committee on March 29, 2019. The bill establishes the Holocaust Museum within the Division of Museums and History of the Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs. We did have a couple of amendments. The first one, sent in prior to the meeting, that the museum shall be privately funded and a feasibility study shall be completed within two years from the date the act becomes effective or not later than July 1, 2021. We also received another amendment that clarifies that any gifts, grants, and donations that are sent in to the Division of Museums and History would be held in a separate account specifically for the Nevada State Holocaust Museum. And finally, we have some requests for cosponsors, and those are Senators Heidi Gansert and Ben Kieckhefer and Assemblymen Alexander Assefa, John Hambrick, and Jim Wheeler (Exhibit C). Chair Flores: Members, I would like to entertain a motion to amend and do pass Assembly Bill 257. ASSEMBLYWOMAN BILBRAY-AXELROD MADE A MOTION TO AMEND AND DO PASS ASSEMBLY BILL 257. Assembly Committee on Government Affairs April 10, 2019 Page 4 ASSEMBLYWOMAN GORELOW SECONDED THE MOTION. Members, is there any discussion? THE MOTION PASSED. (ASSEMBLYMAN SMITH WAS ABSENT FOR THE VOTE.) Assemblywoman Krasner, if you would have that floor statement, please. Assemblywoman Lisa Krasner, Assembly District No. 26: Thank you, Chair Flores and members of the Committee. I appreciate your time. Nothing in the bill or in the two amendments I propose shall be construed to mean that a museum must be built by any specific date. Chair Flores: Thank you for the hard work that you put into this bill. I know there were many people interested in it, and I appreciate your working with everybody. Next, we have Assembly Bill 246, which revises provisions relating to business entities. Assembly Bill 246: Revises provisions relating to business entities. (BDR 18-996) Assemblyman Jim Wheeler, Assembly District No. 39: I am here today to present Assembly Bill 246. As you can see by the conceptual amendment (Exhibit D), the bill has been changed from creating a Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander Affairs. It will now be a subcommittee of the Nevada Commission on Minority Affairs. I believe it becomes a very, very simple bill. Since I have said it is a simple bill, I am now going to turn everything over to Assemblyman Leavitt. Assemblyman Glen Leavitt, Assembly District No. 23: I am excited and pleased to present Assembly Bill 246 for your consideration. I appreciate the opportunity to present it to you today. Assembly Bill 246 aims to promote the inclusion and advocacy for the fastest-growing group in our country and state. The United States Asian population grew 72 percent between 2000 and 2015, from 11.9 million to 20.4 million—the fastest growth rate of any major racial or ethnic group. Nevada has the seventeenth-highest number of Asian residents among U.S. states. Of the top 20 states on the list, Nevada's Asian population experienced the biggest swell from 2000 to 2010, more than doubling in size. Currently, the mission of the Commission on Minority Affairs is to advocate for and to provide a voice to minorities residing in the state, and they have done an excellent job. The Commission provides study and discussion on education, housing, employment, civil rights, health, political empowerment, and economic development. The goal of A.B. 246 is to complement the work of that Commission by ensuring and establishing the Asian and Pacific Islander subcommittee within the Minority Affairs Commission. Assembly Committee on Government Affairs April 10, 2019 Page 5 After talking to members and different stakeholders, I would like to formally submit the conceptual amendment to the bill (Exhibit D), which will incorporate those changes. I will go through the amendment. The conceptual amendment deletes sections 2 through 6 of the original bill, as well as sections 8 and 9. Under section 2, the new language seeks to

  • Review and Discussion Regarding the 2017 Legislative Session with Possible Direction to Staff. (For Possible Action)
    AGENDA ITEM# 12 SUN VALLEY GENERAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT DATE: 2-3-17 TO: Board of Trustees FROM: Darrin Price – General Manager SUBJECT: Review and discussion regarding the 2017 Legislative Session with possible direction to staff. (for possible action). Every two years the Nevada Legislature meets. 2017 is here and it’s that time again. In 2014, the District cancelled its Lobbying contract with Fred Hillerby. At that time the total expenses for the lobbying contract was $1,650.00 dollars a month year round (as to include committee meetings that can and do meet when the session is closed and networking). In February of 2015, the board unanimously approved the General Manager “to act in the lobbying capacity” for the District. Per this direction I have started to assemble a team to assist me with monitoring, tracking, networking, and attending sessions, committee meetings, and general networking to establish relationships with both legislators and their staff. I registered myself, Jennifer, and Maddy as paid lobbyist for this session. The cost to register is $300.00 dollars per person, a total of $900.00 dollars. As a registered lobbyist you can track 10 bills via NELLIS. NELLIS is the Nevada Electronic Legislative Information System. It allows for PLT: What is Personalized Legislative Tracking (PLT)? · PLT allows you to subscribe to BDRs, bills, and budgets that are of interest to you, and subsequently tag and create notes on your subscriptions. · The advantage of PLT is that you will receive immediate notifications of hearings, a daily status notification, and have access to tailored, exportable reports for the subscriptions you have chosen to track.

  • Election 2016 Races to Watch the Power of Latino Candidates Executive Summary
    ELECTION 2016 RACES TO WATCH THE POWER OF LATINO CANDIDATES EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In Election 2016, Latinos will continue their progress as leaders of their communities by seeking positions in Congress, statewide offices, and state legislatures across the nation. Latino candidates are demonstrating that they can successfully pursue seats in the executive and legislative branches of government throughout the country, where some of the most important decisions are made about the policies that affect the lives of all Americans. Additionally, Latinos are achieving new milestones in their efforts to attain full representation at the federal and state level. This Election Profile focuses on key federal and state races involving Latino candidates in the general election on November 8, 2016. Latinos are running for top offices in 38 states. The geographic diversity of Latino candidates demonstrates that Latinos are mobilizing for political progress in both the traditional Latino population centers, and in regions with emerging Latino communities such as the Plains States, the Midwest, the Deep South, and New England. Latinos in the U.S. Senate: The number of Latinos in the U.S. Senate could increase from three to five, if all competitive contenders win their bids (incumbent U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ) are not up for re-election in 2016). With the partisan balance of power in the U.S. Senate at stake, two of the races are considered particularly crucial for both political parties. In Florida, incumbent U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R) faces a challenge from U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy (D).
